Leading Financial Firm Drawn to Combination of Lightweight Simplicity and Powerful Capabilities

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - Volvofinans Bank
has selected Mule ESB and Tcat Server as integral parts of
their enterprise-wide middleware infrastructure. MuleSoft's products will
support efforts at the leading financial services company to drive more
efficiency and agility in its development practices.

Volvofinans Bank provides financing to individuals and organizations for
Volvo vehicles and other products in the Swedish market. The company also
maintains an affiliate credit card business and one of Sweden's most widely
disseminated loyalty cards -- the Volvo Card.

At Volvofinans, Mule ESB will replace a legacy integration platform,
significantly improving the IT team's ability to cost-effectively develop
and integrate application services. The organization selected Mule for its lightweight ease-of-use
combined with full-featured support for integrating all types of
applications, transports, and protocols.

Peter Merikan, IT Architect at Volvofinans Bank, said: "We believe that
Mule ESB can help us lower our development costs and improve agility,
resulting in more efficient business processes. Because Mule's programming
model allows us to leverage our existing development processes and tools,
we can avoid unnecessary disruption and maximize developer productivity."

In addition to Mule ESB, Volvofinans has also selected MuleSoft's Tcat
Server as a part of their web application infrastructure, at a dramatically
lower total cost than existing JEE application servers. Because Tcat Server
is based on Apache Tomcat with no changes to the core code, Volvofinans can
deploy their existing Tomcat applications to Tcat Server seamlessly.

Added Merikan: "We view MuleSoft as the market leader among open source
players in the middleware space. In our evaluation, Mule rated highly with
us on ease-of-development, while delivering the stability and functionality
that we need."
